The  accompanying  plates,  representing,  for  the  most  part, 
the  pictorial  side  of  the  work  in  the  College  of  Architecture, 
are  selected  from  a  large  number  of  drawings  which  have 
been  made  during  the  past  year  and  a  half.  So  far  as  they 
go  they  illustrate  the  character  and  variety  of  interests  en- 
joyed by  the  students.  A  very  considerable  portion  of  the 
students'  time  is,  however,  given  up  to  theoretical  and 
applied  mathematics,  graphics,  advanced  construction,  and 
such  special  studies  as  Heating  and  Ventilating,  Timber 
Physics,  Clay  Products,  etc.  History  of  Architecture  and 
History  of  Art  occupy  a  prominent  place  in  the  curriculum, 
and  the  seminaries  cover  an  important  field,  dealing  with 
a  large  variety  of  subjects  of  both  general  and  technical 
interest. 

It  has  been  decided,  within  the  past  year,  to  depart  from 
the  ancient  custom  of  requiring  exactly  the  same  line  of 
work  of  all  students  and,  instead,  to  permit  those  who  show 
any  special  aptitude  for  the  constructive  side  of  the  work  to 
specialize  in  that  direction  during  the  latter  part  of  the 
course.  Also,  it  has  been  decided  to  permit  students  who 
show  a  particular  tendency  toward  decorative  design  to  sub- 
stitute problems  in  decoration  for  those  in  pure  archi- 
tectural design  during  the  latter  part  of  the  course.  It  is 
thought  that  this  latter  arrangement  will  be  particularly 
advantageous  to  women. 

For  information  relating  to  entrance  requirements,  cost  of 
living,  board,  tuition,  etc.,  address  The  Registrar,  Cornell 
University,  Ithaca,  N.  Y. 


Special  students  are  admitted  to  two  years  of 
study  in  architecture  and  in  decoration.  As  these 
special  courses  are  designed  to  supplement  practi- 
cal experience  gained  in  offices  and  in  studios,  no 
one  will  be  admitted  as  a  special  who  has  not  had 
the  equivalent  of  at  least  three  years'  experience 
in  an  architect's  or  a  decorator's  office.  For  com- 
plete details  governing  admission  to  the  special 
courses,  apply  to  the  Professor  in  charge  of  the 
College    of    Architecture.

The  medal  shown  above  is  a  memorial  to  Charles  Good- 
win Sands,  a  graduate  in  architecture  of  the  class  of  '90, 
who  died  in  1893,  ^"'^  '*  ^  S'^'  '°  ^^^  College  from  the  fam- 
ily of  the  deceased.  The  design  is  by  Charles  Grafly  of 
Philadelphia,  and  the  dies  were  cut  at  the  United  States 
Mint  in  Philadelphia.  The  medal  is  issued  to  students  who 
reach  in  architectural  design  what  is  known  as  the  medal 
grades.  In  this  way  it  serves  to  keep  alive  the  standards  of 
the  College.  The  cathedral  by  Mr.  Dole  was  judged  worthy 
of  the  first  medal,  which  is  the  highest  grade  of  work  in  the 
College.  The  replica  is  struck  in  silver.  The  second  medal 
grade  is  shown  in  Mr.  Ackerman's  design  for  a  State  Capitol. 
The  replica  is  in  bronze. 


LS®ft  ©f  Plates. 

PLATES    I.  AND    II. 

The    drawings    for  an   Episcopal   Cathedral    were    made    by 

Mr.    Dole,    the   Travelling    Fellow  in   Architecture,    after  his 

first    trip    to   Europe.     Prior    to    his    departure  for  Europe,   he 

was    told    that    upon    his    return    the    Faculty  would    give    him 

the    problem    of  a    large    cathedral    for   modern    usages.    This 

enabled    Mr.    Dole   to    study,   from   a   practical   point   of  view, 

the    various    cathedrals   of    Europe.     In    addition    to   the   three 

shown,    the    drawings    comprised    a    from    elevation    and     two 

sections . 

PLATES    III.  AND    IV. 

The  scheme  for  a  College  of  Fine  Arts  contains  one 
more  drawing,  an  elevation  fifteen  feet  long,  of  the  western 
or  museum  front.  This  problem  was  given  Mr.  Dole  as  a 
"Prix  de  Rome"  problem,  the  bird's-eye  perspective  taking 
the  place  of  the  customary  section.  The  drawings  are  also 
useful  in  showing  what  the  Faculty  of  the  College  believe 
to  be  a  feasible  scheme  for  a  monumental  College  of  Fine 
Arts  at  Cornell   University. 


PLATES  V.  AND  VI. 
The  second  competition  for  the  Travelling  Fellowship, 
held  last  summer,  resulted  in  the  selection  of  the  author  of 
these  drawings.  The  Program  called  for  a  ceiling  in  the 
State  House  of  one  of  our  Eastern  States.  Each  drawing 
covers  a  double  elephant  sheet  of  Whatman  paper.  Mr. 
Tissington  worked  in  advanced  design  during  the  first  term 
of  the  University  year,  and  sailed  for  Europe  in  February  for 
a  six  months'  trip. 


PLATES    VII.   AND    VIII. 
The  designs  for   Armories   were   submitted   recently   in   one 
of    the    regular    competitions    of    the    Society    of    Beaux-Arts 
Architects.     In  addition   to  these  drawings,  each  student  pre- 
sented a  side  elevation,  a  floor  plan,  and  a  section. 

PLATESIX.andX. 
The    required    drawings    in    this    problem    were    a    plan,   an 
elevation,  and   a   section.     The   work    is    fairly  representative 
of  the  average  problem   in   first-class  design. 

PLATE    XI. 
Drawing   from   life  comes  twice  a  week  throughout  the  year. 
It    is    required    work    of  Seniors    during    the    first    term,  but    is 
taken    voluntarily    by    members    of   the    other    classes.      There 
are   separate   classes    for   men   and    for   women. 


PLATES    XII.    AND    XIII. 

Interior  Decoration  is  now  studied  by  some  of  the  members 
of  the  Junior  and  Senior  classes  as  a  substitute  for  Archi- 
tectural Design.  This  arrangement  is  applied  to  those  who 
show  a  special  aptitude  for  decoration.  Special  students  are 
admitted  to  the  study  of  Interior  Decoration  upon  satis f a c- 
torv  fulfilment  of  entrance  requirements.  For  further  in- 
formation address  the  Professor  in  charge  of  the  College  of 
Architecture. 

PLATE    XIV. 

The  study  of  Perspective  is  taken  up  in  the  Freshman  year, 
when   the   students  are   familiarized   with    the  customary  meth- 


ods  of  laying  out  perspectives.  During  the  Junior  and  Senior 
years  this  study  of  the  Freshman  year  is  given  a  practical  ap- 
plication through  problems  in  design,  in  which  perspectives, 
usually  at  a  scale  of  one-quarter  of  an  inch  to  the  foot,  are 
drawn  and  rendered. 

PLATE    XV. 

In  this  problem  an  elevation  at  double  the  scale  of  the  plan 
and  a  section  at  the  same  scale  as  that  of  the  plan  comprised, 
with  the  plan,  the  required  drawings.  The  conditions  im- 
posed were  those  which  would  apply  to  a  large  opera-house  in 
a  metropolis. 

PLATE    XVI. 

One  of  the  most  important  exercises  in  the  work  of  the 
College  is  the  Sketch  Problem.  Students  are  asked  to  report 
for  work  at  eight  a.m.,  and  at  that  hour  are  given  a  printed 
program,  detailing  the  conditions  and  scale  of  drawing  re- 
quired. They  are  then  required  to  design  and  render  the 
problem   between    that   hour   and   six   p.m.   of  the   same   day. 

PLATES  XVII.    AND   XVIII. 
These   plates   of  a   State  Capitol   represent  the  regular  first- 
class   problem    of  the   spring  term   of  1900.     A   section   accom- 
panied  these   drawings. 


PLATES    XIX.    AND    XX. 
The  first  term   of  the  Junior   year   is   given    up   to   this    kind 
of  work,  as  well  as  to   steel    and  fireproof  construction.     The 
object   of  the  course   is    not   so   much   to   develop   trained    con- 
structors as  it  is  to  give  the  students  a  working  knowledge  of 


modern   methods   of  building."    Students   desiring   to    specialize 
in   construction   may   do  so  in   the    latter  part  of  the  course, 

PLATES  XXI.  AND  XXir. 
In  the  Sophomore  year  the  students  draw  from  the  antique  in 
the  museum  of  casts,  and  in  the  Junior  year  classes  are  formed 
for  out-of-door  sketching.  The  sketches  shown  on  Plate 
XXII.  were  done  in  and  near  Buffalo  by  Messrs.  Ackerman 
and    Straight    during   the   summer  following  their  Junior   year. 

PLATE   XXIII. 

Usually  during  the   Sophomore   year  a   problem   like  this  one 

is  given,  in   order   to   test   and   apply   the  ability  of  the   class   in 

figure-drawing. 

PLATE   XXIV. 

This  d r a w i nS/^^i  1  f  'U 1  u4m e c t u r a  1  and  half  decorative,  illus- 
trates a  kind'^^of  problem  wjiich  is  often  given  to  Sophomores 
while  they  are  beginning  the  study  of  composition.  A  plan 
and  section  of  the  doorway  accompanied  the  larger  drawing 
of  the  side   of  the   room.
